2.4 Functional Description

The Clinical Chemistry Analyser HumaStar 180 comprises the following main functional units: Process Management Liquid Handling Carousels Temperature control Cooling (optional) Measurement System DETect Software package
The following explains the functions of all these units, as well as their interference within eachother.
2.4.1 PROCESS MANAGEMENT The working principal of HumaStar 180 is based on a modular system, which is controlled by a PC via the Process Manager (inbuilt in HumaStar 180).
14
Each module is fitted with its own intelligence and functions as a slave to the Process Manager. The process manager is connected to a PC via RS 232 and receives his orders from DETect Software package running on the PC. When a process is started on DETect (e.g.: testing a sample for certain paramters), DETect cuts the complete process into the required steps: Washing the probes Pipetting the reagent(s) Pipetting the sample Mixing Incubating Reading
These process steps are sent to the process manager in the instrument, one at a time, exactly whenappropriate. The process manager himself distributes the necessary commands to the modules. The modules fulfill the order and report back to the process manager, which himself provides DETect with the actual status accordingly.
2.4.2 LIQUID HANDLING The functional unit Liquid Handling consists of two independent Liquid paths, one for Sample pipetting and one for Reagent pipetting. All involved electrical components such as drive motors, valves and syringes are connected to and controlled by the central Process Manager.

Both liquid paths are built up identical, with the only difference of the size of the syringes and the probes: Syringe: 1ml for Reagent path 250 l for Sample path Probe: 0.5 mm inner diameter for Reagent path 0.4 mm inner diameter for Sample path
X- and Z movement are realised by the pipetting arm, which holds the probes and the probes drives, together with all necessary motors, sensors and electronics. 2.4.2.1 Pipetting cycle The system is able to pippete reagents in either single- or multi pipetting mode. Multipipetting mode means that, a multiple of the required reagent volume per test of one reagent will be aspirated and then be distributed into the different target containers (cuvettes) accordingly. A complete pipetting cycle incorporates the following steps: Single Pipetting (Sample or Reagent) Wash probe - move probe in Z direction into wash station - flush with System liquid for a pre-defined time span - lift probe in Z direction to top position Pick up source liquid - move probe in X direction to source container (reagent container, sample tube or serum cup) - move probe in Z direction into source container until liquid is detected - aspirate the required test volume (driven by syringe pumps) - lift probe in Z direction to top position

2.4.3 CAROUSELS, TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND COOLING HumaStar 180 is using two Carousels, the Inner and the Outer Carousel. Both carousels are directly connected to and controlled by the central Process Manager. - The INNER Carousel for carrying Samples, Reagents, Standards, Calibrators and Controls. The inner carousel can optionally be cooled. This option comprises an external cooling unit and cooled liquid is circulated underneath the inner carousel. - The OUTER Carousel for carrying the disposable Cuvettes. The outer carousel is temperature controlled to 37 C (standard).

The Outer Carousel features 75 Positions for Cuvette Blocks
Each Cuvette Block contains 4 Cuvettes, for one test each. Total loading volume: Cuvettes for 300 Tests. These Cuvette Blocks are unique and can only be ordered from Human: Cat number 16900/1
2.4.3.3 Functions of the Carousels Temperature control of Outer Carousel The temperature control of the outer carousel is effected by thermo resistors, connected to an electronic regulating circuit. Together with temperature sensitive sensors connected to the same regulating circuit, a stable temperature is provided to the cuvettes throughout the whole test run.
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
19
Cooling Option of Inner Carousel The cooling of the inner carousel is effected by cooled water circulating underneath the inner carousel, within a closed spiral copper tube. This copper tube is connected to an external cooling generator, the system is closed and independent from a tap water connection. Insulation In order to prevent temperature interferences between the (optionally) cooled inner and the temp. controlled outer carousel, an insulation ring is dividing the two carousels. Rotation Both Carousels are controlled and rotated independently, within a co-axial mechanical system. Besides keeping samples, reagents and test containers in stable temperature environment, actually the main function of the carousels is to provide the Y movement of the source and target containers within the pipetting and measuring system of HumaStar 180. The carousels are rotated while other processes within the complete system are being performed. By doing so, the time required for rotating and positioning the carousels is not a critical factor in terms of process time and throughput. The Inner Carousel is only to be rotated during pipetting steps, as described under 2.4.3. It is rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction and provides the source containers required for a specific pipetting step to be positioned precisely underneath the probes. The Outer Carousel is to be rotated during pipetting steps as described under 2.4.3. Additionally, the outer carousel is to be rotated during measurement steps as described under 2.4.4 For pipetting, it is rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction and provides the target containers required for a specific pipetting step to be positioned precisely underneath the probes. For measurement steps, it is rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction and provides the target containers required for the measurement step to be positioned precisely at the entrance position of the Linear Photometer street.
20
2.4.4 MEASUREMENT SYSTEM HumaStar 180 is fitted with a unique Linear Photometer, featuring 20 independent measurement channels for fast and accurate reading of test results in the cuvettes. These 20 channels are organised in 5 groups of 4 channels each, whereas each group of 4 channels is controlled by two electronic boards: One light emitting board and one detection board. These are directly connected to the central Process Manager Each of the 5 light emitting boards is fitted with 4 light sources (LED, light emitting diodes) and the respective control electronics. Each of the 5 detection boards is fitted with 4 detectors (Silicon Diodes) and the respective signal converter electronics, as well as with a RS 232 port which connects it with the Process Manager.

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
21
For reading, the cuvette block is transported from the outer carousel through the linear photometer by a transport belt. Depending on the wavelength required for the measurement, the cuvette block will be positioned into the 4 light beams of the respective photometer block. The light emitted by the LEDs is directed through a focusing lens. This lens ensures a light beam, which is as parallel as required for having homogenous measurement conditions. While passing the cuvettes, respectively the liquid in the cuvettes, a part of the light energy is being absorbed by the liquid in the cuvette. The remaining light energy is now passing another lens and the respective interference filter and is then being measured by the detectors.
